Daytrippers

We had an away day to the East Coast today.

It's over 2 hours drive to the coast from Nottingham.

This is Elsie and I stopping for a photo.

We did over 24,500 steps today, good for humans , good for whippets (I think)

There's an Elsie Dayttrripper in my "Extras" album

Lovely photo of you both

[Wylie]

Looks like a lovely day out and a long walk to the water!

[Hazel]

That's fabulous, Phil! Wish I was there, having a walk on that lovely firm sand. And this shot disproves, for me at least, the compositional rule of thirds!

[Dione Giorgio]

And, of course, your baby is with you. You always make a great subject to capture with your lovely smile.

@quietpurplehaze21 thanks haze , i wanted to keep the long shadow in the frame and if i cropped the right hand side to get the thirds the image composition didn't look right . Thanks for your positive feedback 📷

[Phil Howcroft]

@julzmaioro that's a good point Julia and she did some running too 📷😄🐾🐕

[Phil Howcroft]

@whippy Shirley , Elsie is our third whippet , the first two were rescue whippets , we couldn't find a rescue for our 3rd so we went to a breeder and got Elsie from a puppy 😀

[Phil Howcroft]

@casablanca casa about 14c 15c so very pleasant , we had a picnic and a coffee in a trendy coffee house ( independent ) 🐾

[william wooderson]

You look dapper, happy and at ease with coastal life! Fav
